Freud On Development Essay, Research Paper

Freud really did make some major contributions to the field of psychology. He

was the first one to suggest that psychological problems might have their roots

in how children were treated. Freud believed that most of our personality is

formed by early childhood, much of it so early that we don?t even have

conscious memories. For example, people who were toilet-trained strictly and at

an early age grow up to be intolerant of mess, disorder and anything that

doesn?t go by the rules of how things are supposed to be. In the summer of

1929, one of Freud?s patients, Herman Kleirman, wrote a letter to him in order

to be able to understand a dream he had. The symbolism and depiction of this

dream represents the different stages of Freud?s theory of development. The

first thing the patient remembers is that he was in a very dark and

uncomfortable space. Soon after, he fell down a tunnel and ended up in a lake.

This is the suggestion of the moment of birth, when the baby is still inside the

mother (the dark spot). The tunnel he talks about is the birth canal through

which he will come out and see the light for the first time. Up to that moment,

the baby has been in water for nine months. So, once he is outside (in the

lake), he starts to take oxygen. This is why he felt that ?the lake was filled

with more than water?, which is air. Next, the patient grasped onto something

to save himself in the dream. This is the representation of the beginning of the

oral stage for the baby. Now, the mouth is his only connection with the world.

Grabbing and sucking are two of the only things that the baby can do at this

point. As Freud indicates in his theory, little kids have the desire to

Freud?s psychosexual stages of development 3 suck all the time. They grab the

mother?s nipple for milk, as the man grabbed and ate that thing in the dream

to save his life. He tasted something bitter and acidic. This is similar to the

taste of the first milk the baby has from the mother when he starts sucking.

During the oral passive stage, the EGO, the rational and conscious part of our

minds, starts to develop. After getting to the edge of the lake, Mr. Kleinman
